I am a natural uplifter of others! My optimistic view on life makes this easy for me and so I easily gravitate towards situations where I can be of service to those in need.
I've been invited to lecture at the University of Johannesburg Town and Regional Planning Department for one year and received positive feedback from my students, some of whom I'm still in contact with. This experience has enhanced my capacity for patience, compassion and sharpened my skills as sharing the knowledge I have on various subjects. I believe in making learning fun again!.
